Review by Lydia Birch on show 23rd April
i first heard about barbara erskine when i lived in kent & heard her on the local essex radio, and found her book in a charity shop.
'midnight is a lonely place', starts off in modern day, (in this case 1994)
after a broken love affair, kate kennedy, a successful biographer, moves to a remote cottage on the wild essex coast to work on her book.
when alison, her landlords daughter, uncovers a roman site nearby, long buried passions are unleashed.....
in her lonely cottage, kate is terrorized by mysterious forces.
what do these ghosts want? that the truth about the violent events of long ago be exposed or remain concealed?
kate, alison & her brother greg must struggle for there lives against earthbound sprits and ancient curses as hate, jealously, revenge and passionate love do battle across the centuries......
what i love is the fact her stories start in modern day and weave into the past with historical facts and ghostly goings on, the way she goes back to the romans and tells the story of what happened with the romans on that wild essex beach and how when alison finds the grave in modern day it starts up all the unrested ghosts and spirits that could never rest,
if you love a spooky ghost story this is for you,
if you like things that are both slightly scary, and has history weaved in to the story then have a read, i'm sure you'll enjoy it.
